Menopause

​

In Chinese culture, menopause is described as a second spring. Far from being an ending, it is seen as a profound and wonderful time in which a woman's energy moves towards her heart, allowing her to pass on wisdom to younger generations. Many women find themselves inspired by new passions during this stage, often leading them to give back to society in some way.
 

Menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and lactation are unique to women. Menopause signifies that a woman has completed her childbearing years, and her body undergoes a series of transformations as it prepares for the next stage of life. During this transitional period, temporary internal disturbances occur from time to time, and a woman may be particularly vulnerable to various disharmonies.
 

Why menopause symptoms happen
 

Due to declining and fluctuating hormone levels, the body goes through a series of changes. When the body cannot adjust smoothly, symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, hot flushes, insomnia, mood swings, and vaginal and bladder problems can come and go throughout this period.
 

This transition varies greatly from woman to woman. Some go through it with relative ease, while others find their lives seriously disrupted.

Interestingly, the symptoms reported also vary by culture. Western women tend to report hot flushes and night sweats as their main complaints, while Chinese women more often report bone and joint pain, poor memory and fatigue. This suggests that lifestyle, diet and outlook all play a part in how menopause is experienced.
